The 1981 Zoning Rollback

Here's one of the entries in Phyllis Brinkley's "History of Allandale Neighborhood Association" that is relevant to the discussion of our joining the City of Austin's Neighborhood Planning process:

"1981........................... Achieved a zoning rollback for 99% of all single-family residences within the neighborhood to permanent "SF-2, Single Family Residence." This was the largest rollback in the city and has prevented residences from being rezoned as duplexes, apartments, and commercial establishments."

This rollback was largely due to the efforts of our current ANA Executive Committeee member, Allan McMurtry.
